2011 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FD11 ABF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in its most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 82,696 miles. While the car experienced a failure just one day prior at nearly identical mileage, the subsequent lack of recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing without significant advisories, indicating that the mechanical and structural components are currently meeting minimum regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a fifteen-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the car covered 3,400 miles, reflecting a period of low-intensity use. The 2,482 miles recorded between mid-2024 and mid-2025 reinforces this. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to long periods of potential standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from hidden corrosion in sills and wheel arches that is not always captured until it becomes structural. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which can perish over time regardless of distance driven. Given the brief failure in July 2025, verify the state of the brake discs for pitting or the calipers for binding, which are common issues on vehicles that sit stationary for long periods.
